lycium chinense/phosphatase

Cortex Lycii (root back of Lycium chinense) has is a famous traditional Chinese medicine which displays several pharmacological activities including antioxidant and antidiabetic properties. We investigated the effect of the ethyl acetate fraction (QCL) of Cortex Lycii on the enzymes involved in the

We previously reported that zeaxanthin dipalmitate (ZD), a carotenoid from Lycium chinense fruit, reduces myofibroblast-like cell proliferation and collagen synthesis in vitro. To determine whether ZD might reduce the severity of hepatic fibrosis in an animal model, hepatic fibrosis was induced in

In the present study, we investigated the protective effect of Lycium chinense Miller (Solanaceae) fruit (LFE) against CCl(4)-induced hepatotoxicity and the mechanism underlying these protective effects in rats. The pretreatment of LFE has shown to possess a significant protective effect by lowering

Ethnopharmacological relevance: Osteoporosis and Alzheimer's disease (AD) are both senile diseases, which are closely related to oxidative stress. Bajitianwan (BJTW) is a classic Chinese formulation consisting of seven herbal drugs: the

Lycium barbarum polysaccharides (LBPs) have multiple biological and pharmacological functions, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anticancer activities. This research was conducted to evaluate whether LBPs could alleviate carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced liver fibrosis and the

This study evaluated the protective effects of aqueous extract of Lycium barbarum (LBAE) and ethanol extract of Lycium barbarum (LBEE) on blood lipid levels, serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activities and liver tissue antioxidant

In this study, the effect of Lycium barbarum polysaccharides (LBP) on immunological parameters, apoptosis, and growth performance of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) was investigated. Dietary supplementation with LBP significantly increased complement 3 (C3) activity and promoted interleukin

Traditional separation and purification process of Lycium barbarum polysaccharides (LBP) includes water extraction, alcohol precipitation, deproteinization and ion-exchange column chromatography, which is complicated and time-consuming. In our study, retentate LBP-I and dialysate LBP-O were obtained

BACKGROUND A large number of plants and their isolates have been shown to potentiate immunity. Some plants exert anti-inflammatory and anti-stress effects, others hepatoprotective activity. In this study, 320 1-day-old broiler chicks were randomly divided into four major groups A, B, C and D and fed

Lycium chinenseMill., popularly known as boxthorn, is a plant that is traditionally used for treating night sweat, cough, inflammation and diabetes mellitus. However, the leaves have received little or no attention despite their potentials as a potent therapeutic agent. This study was aimed at

Post-menopausal osteoporosis is a serious age-related disease. After the menopause, estrogen deficiency is common, and excessive osteoclast activity causes osteoporosis. Osteoclasts are multinucleated cells generated from the differentiation of monocyte/macrophage precursor cells such as RAW 264.7
